Happy New Year!
It's the time of year that everyone makes New Year's resolutions to improve their personal well being. Maybe it's going to the gym, maybe it's saving more money, maybe it is opening a business, or maybe it's volunteering your time. What is your personal goal?
Remember when booking a hotel in the city to ask for the Saskatoon Experience Pass.
Yours in tourism,
Debbie Aldous-Ibbitson Visitor Services Coordinator
